Taco Bell removing lettuce nationwide linked to cyclosporiasis in 5 states

Taco Bell is pulling shredded iceberg lettuce from all its restaurants across the country due to a cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting five states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention traced the illness back to the lettuce, prompting the fast-food chain to act swiftly to prevent further cases. This move underscores the importance of food safety and the quick response needed to protect public health. The decision could lead to broader changes in how fast-food chains manage their supply chains to avoid similar issues in the future.
